of the original features remain.
Ground Floor: The main entrance to
the house leads directly into an open plan living room and kitchen. This
room is treble aspect and has two sets of part glazed patio doors with
internal wooden shutters, which lead out to the front of the house.
The flooring of this room is traditional
style ceramic tiles and there are exposed wooden beams to the ceiling.
There is a log burning stove to one corner of the living room and the
walls behind have been decorated with hand painted traditional tiles.
There is wooden staircase within the living room area which leads to the
first floor accommodation.
There is a selection of base and eye level
built in wooden kitchen units with a marble work surface. There is a
free-standing oven and hob which will remain with the property.
Off the kitchen there is a pantry and
partially tiled shower room. The pantry has storage shelves and room for
a large fridge freezer. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and pedestal
sink.
First Floor: The staircase leads
into a spacious landing area which has a wooden floor. The original
large fireplace has been retained and has been turned into a cosy snug

converted in a useful open plan room with wooden floorboards.
There are gable end windows to either end
of the attic as well as a 'Velux' style roof window. There is a wooden
guard rail around the staircase and exposed wooden beams to the roof. At
